Alexandria—
The Suzanne Mubarak Family Garden (SMFG) project was initiated by the Heliopolis Association; an Egyptian NGO, established in 1981 as non-profit organization, chaired by H.E. Mrs. Suzanne Mubarak. The SMGF is committed to providing an exciting learning opportunity, where children experience the world beyond the classroom as an essential part of their learning and development. This initiative is one of the numerous projects of the Heliopolis Association targeting children’s education; paving the way towards a sustainable culture of innovation in Egypt. www.dsds.org.eg
The SMFG is a park designed to meet international standards while preserving the Egyptian identity. This initiative is designed to meet the increasing demand for recreational areas in the Egyptian overpopulated capital and its affiliated governorates.
It is built on around 264,000 square meters in Cairo’s new suburb El-Tagamoa El-Khames.
The SMFG, scheduled to open mid 2009, is also designed to provide a unique educational experience based on stimulating curiosity, creativity, learning through fun and interactive exhibits and programs for children and adults. The park will offer programs that spark creativity, nourish innovation, and inspire discovery and learning through play. Through these programs, children are encouraged to take the lead, helping them become active and life-long learners.
The BA Planetarium Science Center was nominated to manage the park’s cultural facilities composed of the following 4 centers to fulfill the objective of Learning For All: The Arts & Technology Center, the Science Center, the Nature Center, and the Artistic Workshops. These centers are "SEE, TOUCH, & DO" venues, with tailored activities designed for children of all ages.
